haptic

General purpose helper for Haptic Paper. Actions: intent, search_docs. Use `intent` when the user makes a vague request or wants to start working ("I want to work").

Accepts raw HTML/template content (context[].content); Accepts freeform code/query input (query)

Part of the Haptic Paper MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@hapticpaper/mcp-server Execute Risk 4/5

AI agents invoke haptic to trigger processes or run actions in Haptic Paper. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

haptic can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the haptic tool do? +

General purpose helper for Haptic Paper. Actions: intent, search_docs. Use `intent` when the user makes a vague request or wants to start working ("I want to work").. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Haptic Paper MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on haptic? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for haptic. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Haptic Paper MCP server.

What risk level is haptic? +

haptic is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit haptic? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the haptic rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block haptic completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for haptic. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides haptic? +

haptic is provided by the Haptic Paper MCP server (@hapticpaper/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
